Maryna van Wieren

Maryna van Wieren is a hair and makeup artist with a studio in the Giessen-Lab at Giessenplatz 8, 8600 Dübendorf, in the canton of Zurich. Her bridal page publishes 3 packages, prices for guests and the travel charges, and her homepage summarizes the bridal service as makeup and hair, styling on location or at the bride's home, and a trial at the studio. The site is in German, with a link to an English version. Beyond weddings she does makeup and hair for business photos and special occasions, and teaches makeup courses.

The bridal packages

The bridal page lists 3 packages, each including professional advice, styling on the wedding day at the bride's location, lashes if wanted, and a touch-up kit.

GRACE, CHF 690. Bridal makeup and hairstyling, with a trial at her studio.

ELEGANCE, CHF 350 / 400. Bridal makeup or hairstyling, with a trial at her studio. The page gives the two prices side by side without saying which applies to makeup and which to hair, so a bride should confirm.

BEAUTY, CHF 370. Described as "Last Minute Beauty": bridal makeup and hairstyling without a trial.

The BEAUTY package matters for a couple who lives abroad: a bride who cannot come to Dübendorf for a trial before the wedding can still book makeup and hair together, without one. A bride who can visit beforehand gets the trial in the GRACE or ELEGANCE package.

For anyone who wants her to stay on during the wedding, for the photo shoot, the apéro or the whole day, the page asks couples to mention it separately in their inquiry. No price is published for that.

Guests and the wedding party

The page lists prices for guests, all without a trial: hairstyling and makeup at CHF 200 per person, makeup at CHF 100 per person, and hairstyling from CHF 100 per person depending on the style. Applying lashes (Wimpern kleben) costs CHF 25. The contact form asks how many additional people want makeup and hair, hair only or makeup only, so a couple can request the whole morning in one inquiry.

Travel

Travel within 20 km of Zurich 8053 costs CHF 50. Each further kilometer costs CHF 1, counted there and back. The page measures from Zurich 8053 rather than from Dübendorf, so a couple should calculate the distance from that postcode to the place where the bride will get ready.

The studio and getting there

The studio page gives directions by public transport and car. By public transport, tram 12 runs from Stettbach to the stop "Dübendorf, am Ring", 6 minutes' walk from the studio, and bus 760 runs from Dübendorf railway station to the stop "Dübendorf, EMPA", 1 minute's walk away. By car, there is a visitor parking space, which has to be reserved. For a bride without a car coming for a trial, the tram and bus directions are the useful part.

Makeup, hair and other services

Her homepage describes her makeup as long-lasting, unique to the client and "Happy-tears proof (tränenfest)", and her hair work as blow-dried, straightened or waved styles and updos for every occasion. The business and special-occasion page lists, for private clients, day makeup (about 45 minutes) at CHF 100, evening makeup (about 1.5 hours) at CHF 130, hairstyling from CHF 120 depending on difficulty, and makeup and hair together from CHF 250. That page describes the makeup as suited to the client's type and long-lasting, for example day, evening or gala makeup, or makeup to match the theme of a photo shoot or fashion show, and as suited to HD close-up photo shoots, and the hairstyling options as blow-dried, straightened or waved, updos, or bohemian and vintage styles. For commissioned work, she charges CHF 120 for the first hour and CHF 100 for each further hour, CHF 450 for a half day of 4 hours, and CHF 800 for a day of up to 8 hours.

She also offers makeup courses, one-to-one or in small groups, including a new course for teenagers and a Girls Party course, and individual gift vouchers.

Recognition and reviews

The homepage has a Highlights section naming a makeup championship (Meisterschaft für Make-up), the Faces Challenge and a Newcomer Trophy Makeup, and a reviews section quoting one client: "Ich kann Maryna nur wärmstens empfehlen" (I can only warmly recommend Maryna). The site links to her Google reviews and has a bridal gallery.

Booking

Bookings go through the contact form. For weddings it asks which package the bride is interested in, the wedding date ("Wann heiratest du?"), where she expects Maryna on the wedding day, the time she wants to be ready, and whether more guests will be styled, with how many for each service. The first question on the form lists everything she offers: a wedding, a business photo shoot, professional makeup and hairstyling for a private client, a gift voucher, a makeup course for every day and every occasion, and a Girls Party course. The wedding options match the packages (bridal makeup and hair with a trial, makeup only with a trial, hair only with a trial, and the last-minute option without a trial), plus a box for styling further people on the wedding day. No phone number or email address appears on the bridal, studio or contact pages. For a couple writing from abroad, the form fields are a useful checklist of what to decide before inquiring.

What the site does not specify

The site does not say how far ahead to book, how long before the wedding the trial takes place, or how many people she can style on one morning. It does not name the brands she uses. It gives no deposit or cancellation terms. Although there is an English version of the site, it does not say which languages she works in, so a couple from abroad should confirm in the first message.

Who this suits

Maryna van Wieren suits a bride marrying in or around Zurich who wants hair and makeup from one artist, done where she gets ready, with prices set out in advance for herself and her guests. The BEAUTY package suits a bride from abroad who cannot attend a trial, and the GRACE package a bride who can. The caveats are that booking runs only through the form, travel is charged by the kilometer beyond 20 km from Zurich 8053, and the practical terms on deposits and lead times are left for the inquiry.
